💤 dev_pm_disarm_wake_irq — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🌸

okay so real talk, this one's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the deep-lore kernel internals section, iykyk) and it's literally the "ok we're done here, go back to sleep" button for a device's wake-up interrupt. Short page, but every word slays. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dev_pm_disarm_wake_irq — disarm device wake-up 💅

like, the wake-up is armed, and now we're un-arming it. the way that this is the entire concept of the function. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dev_pm_disarm_wake_irq (struct wake_irq *wirq );

no return value, no drama, it just does the thing and dips. periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • wirq — the device wake-up interrupt 💖 that's the one you're disarming. hand it over and let it rest.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the vibe check: this clears up the wake-up event — but conditionally, based on device_may_wake 👑. not "always clear it", not "never clear it". conditional. it checks device_may_wake and decides from there, so don't go assuming it just nukes the wake-up event every single time, because that is not the assignment fr fr.

lowkey important: the conditional part is the whole personality of this function. device_may_wake is running the show here. 🙈
